About Me

We are an independent grassroots event aimed at highlighting and promoting the endeavors of African descended people in the various fields and industry of literature; from authorship, to publishing, to distribution.
The movement was conceived in 2007, and started out as a literary arts festival in 2008 (originally based in Richmond, VA). Since that time, we have expanded on our original concept, and have relocated to Baltimore, MD.
Created due to the lack of Black-owned bookstores in the local area, and Black-owned media in general, the original festival was conceived and held. We have now turned that one-time event into a consistent movement.
